Not a surprise but it still breaks my heart. I think of all the brave Americans who fought to our country and my heart breaks a little more. This is their legacy. Money has taken over our government. When the Democrats stay silent, they lose the right to call themselves Democrats. Shame on you!

Democrats forced the issue. The discharge petition has the votes. ACA tax credits are on the table now.
If House Republicans block this, they own every dropped plan and every spiking premium.
Call and demand a HELL YES vote.
